Imphal, September 02 2010:
Consequent upon an offer by the Union Ministry of Health to give the State Government Rs two crores for providing free medical service including medicines at Government hospitals, the State Cabinet would meet soon to sanction the State Government's due share, which will also amount to Rs 2 crores.
It is however not yet clear whether this is going to be only for a year or will become another flagship programme of the UPA Government.
This was stated by Health Minister Ph Parijat at a one day convention organised by the Manipur Legislative Forum on HIV and AIDS at Kyamba Shanglen, Bishnupur Bazar today.

Addressing the convention, Parijat said that a patient would be entitled to free medical service in addition to medicines worth Rs one lakh.
For this, the State Govt should fork out Rs two crores as its share.
Stating that the matter would be studied in a Cabinet meeting, Parijat conveyed the Centre's intimation to establish at least six nursing institutes for JNM course in the State.
Requisite project reports for setting up the six nursing institutes in Thoubal, Bishnupur and four hill districts would be sent to the Ministry concerned within the current year.
The convention was also attended by Bishnupur A/C MLA Govindas Konthoujam, Oinam A/C MLA I Ibohalbi and Secretary of Assembly Secretariat Y Indira.
MACS deputy director Abiram Mongja, former Mr Manipur Pradipkumar and UN AIDS State co-ordinator Sushil Huidrom addressed the convention as resource persons.
